METHODS: Thirty patients with a mean age of 43 years (range, 26-63) who suffered from instability of levels L4-L5 (n = 23), L5-S1 (n = 3), or both (n = 2) underwent surgery. Spondylodesis was achieved with two BAK cylinders. After 6 months, all patients completed a ...
Spinal anesthesiaTLIFThis video describes an awake robotic minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF). Minimally invasive spine surgery leads to reduced perioperative morbidity while accelerating recovery by limiting soft tissue damage, blood loss, and postoperative pain. Robotic guidance...
Degenerative L4–L5 spondylolisthesis and stenosis surgery: does over-level flavectomy technique influence clinical outcomes and rates of cranial adjacent ... Background: One of the most dreaded long-term complications related to L4–L5 lumbar arthrodesis is the onset of adjacent segment disease, whic...

Conclusions: In PSF to L4 for IS, L5 tilt measured from the pre-operative supine RSB radiograph can be used to optimize radiographic outcomes. Matching the pre-operative L5 tilt on RSB radiograph by leaving L4 tilted at the end of the PSF construct during surgery, quantified by the C7–L4...
Background and purpose - There are different opinions on how to surgically address lumbar spinal stenosis with concomitant degenerative spondylolisthesis (DS). We investigated reoperation rates at the index and adjacent levels after L4-5 fusion surgery in a large cohort of unselected patients ...
